Virginia News Headlines: Saturday Morning

Here are a few national and Virginia news headlines, political and otherwise, for Saturday, March 29. Also, check out this week’s address from the White House, with Joe Biden filling in for President Obama and explaining why raising the minimum wage is the right thing to do for hardworking Americans.

*Putin Calls Obama to Discuss Ukraine, White House Says (” President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia reached out to President Obama on Friday to discuss ideas about how to peacefully resolve the international standoff over Ukraine, a surprise move by Moscow to pull back from the brink of an escalated confrontation that has put Europe and much of the world on edge.”)

*Lawmakers stick to budget rhetoric (“The rhetorical soap opera over Medicaid expansion went into reruns Friday with Virginia lawmakers and stakeholders reaffirming entrenched positions that have delayed passing a new state budget.”)

*Real risks to Virginia coast (“Virginia leaders have pushed hard to open territory off Virginia Beach to drilling for oil and gas. But evidence aruges that the risk to Navy operations, tourism and fisheries is real.”)

Guess Dan Snyder picked some native american that would push the party line, football name is ok. Notice some more names associated with this crook. Jennifer Farley a Bush staffer and another well known crook, Jack Abramoff.

Abramoff served time, not for fleecing the Indians and buying political leaders, but for basically stealing a tour boat.

Probably why Snyder will never have a good football team is he only hires yes men like Bruce Allen who claimed Edwards was the right leader.
